Chester-le-Street parents can brush up on basic skills

PARENTS are being given the chance to brush up on their education skills with two courses due to start later this month.

The 10-week courses, delivered by the Workers Education Association for parents in the Chester-le-Street area, are designed to help with CV writing or for extra confidence when helping children with their homework.

A maths course starts at Pelton Children’s Centre, in Ouston Lane, on January 18 at 9.30am while an English course begins at 1pm the same day in Bullion Lane Children’s Centre.

Places on either course can be booked through Bullion Lane Children’s Centre on 03000 268 643 or Pelton Children’s Centre on 03000 269 864.
